42" Sheep &Goat Netting
Temporary
ElectroStop ® 10/42/12 • 10 horizontal strands. • 42" tall. • Vertical struts every 12". • Line posts built in every 12.5 ft. 0.60" dia. • Post spikes (SS or DS) 0.25" dia, 6" long. • Drivable Posts (DP) version available. New! Drivable Posts… • Post can be pounded in with a dead-blow hammer or mallet. • .75 dia post with fiberglass cables. • Brown drive-cap. • Single spike only. ElectroStop ® Plus 10/42/12 Identical to ElectroStop except line posts are every 6.8 ft instead of 12.5 ft . Less prone to sag. Resists wind better (see p. 107). However, extra posts make netting heavier—so we also shortened the roll lengths to 50 ft and 100 ft long. ElectroStop compared to ElectroNet? 7" taller. 9 conductive twines instead of 8. When is the extra height advised? For dairy goats; flighty breeds of sheep; rams and bucks during breeding season; coyotes and athletic dogs. Disadvantages of taller nets? More expensive. Not as easy to handle. Less stable in soft soils. More affected by strong winds.Uses
• Strip-graze pastures and short-term
crops such as turnips and rape.
• As an interim permanent fence until
a proper fence can be built.
• Enclose rams and buck/billy goats.
• Keep coyotes, dogs and bears out.
• Keep domestic dogs in.
• Graze orchards and vineyards.
• Make temporary lanes for moving
animals from place to place.
• Make replaceable water gaps.
• Protect outdoor hay supplies.
• Graze stockpiled forage on hay fields
in late fall and early winter.
Because it’s so easy to install and
remove, many folks move Premier’s
netting weekly—fencing the flock or
herd instead of the field.

ElectroStop’s strutted verticals sag
less between posts. Lowest live strand is
closer to ground. Much lower electrical
resistance. Stronger posts. Easier to handle.

• One less energized strand (9 vs 10).
• Electrical resistance (380 ohms/1000
ft) is 10 times higher. Not advised for
fences longer than 2 to 3 rolls of netting
or fences exposed to heavy weed load.

Note: We’re aware that the lower price of Electric Goat Net will encourage folks to choose this version. Think
carefully before you do so. Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve previously chosen
“economy” netting from other sources and from us.
Why do we offer it? Because it is similar to nets from other sources—and comparisons make decisions easier.
